IRON-STAND.

To all whom. it may concern: I

Be it known that I, PAUL WIENER, a citizen of the United States, andresiding at- New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Iron- Stands, ofwhich the following is a specification, such as will *enable thoseskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to stands or holders for sadirons, and the objectthereof is to provide an improved device of this class Which is designedto be connectedwith, or

secured to an ironingboard and by means of which the use of the ironwill be facilitated, and whereby-theiron may be handled or manipulatedmore easily and conveniently than is ordinary with this class ofdevices.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, ofwhich the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which theseparate partsof my improvement are designated by suitable. reference characters ineach of the views, and in which Figure 1 is a plan view of an ironingboard provided with my improvement; Fig.

2 a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 and on enlarged scale andindicating an iron in po- .sition on the holder in dotted lines; Fig. 3

a plan view of the iron stand detached and showing a slightmodification; and, Fig. 4 a section on the line l4= of Fig. 3 andshowing the holder attached to a board.

In the accompanying drawing, referring to Figs. 1 and 2, I have shown anironingboard a of the usual form and at b I have shown one form of myimproved iron stand or holder which conslsts of a. base plate 6preferably stamped.from sheet metal and provided at its opposite sidewith front legs I) and rear legs 6 and the front legs are longer thanthe rear'legs, whereby the base plate I), or the stand proper, issupported at an inclination to the boarda. The rear end of the baseplate 6 which is downwardly inclined is provided with a rear edgeportion Z2 which is beveled downwardly and rear: wardly on its topsurface, and said base plate' is provided at the opposite'side edgesthereof with raised side walls or flanges b which are preferablyterminated rearwardly of the front end 6 thereof, and said front end isalso preferably beveled or rounded as clearly shown.

construction shown, is provided centrally thereof with a V-shaped recess6.

The operation, or method of operating or manipulating the iron will beexactly. .the

same as with the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, but theconstruction shown in Figs. 3 and 4 is provided primarily for use inconnection with irons which are tapered at both ends, in which event therear end tapered portion of the iron fits in'the recess 6 when the ironis placed in position on the stand or holder. In both forms ofconstruction, the plate 6 or the body portion of the stand or holder-isrovided with openings or apertures I)", in the construction shown, whichaid in a way to prevent the overheating of the stand .or holder, andwhich also makes said stand or holder lighter when made of metal than itwould otherwise be.

My improved iron stand or holder may be stamped from sheet metal, or maybe produced by casting, and changes in and iodifications of the variousdetails of construction herein described may be made, within the scopeof the appended claims, without de-' Having fully described myinvention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is

1. An iron stand, comprising a flat body portion having raised sideflanges and adapted to be rigidly secured to a board or support in adownwardly and backwardly inclined position, said body portion beingprovided transversely thereof and forwardly of its rear edge portionwith a transverse raised member.

2. An iron stand or holder, comprising a base plate or body portionhaving raised side flanges and provided with front and rear legs, thefront legs being longer than the rear legs, and said device beingadapted to be rigidly secured to a board or support in a downwardly andbackwardly inclined position with the rear edge thereof resting on saidboard or support.

3. An iron stand or holder, comprising a base late or body portionhaving raised side anges and provided with front and rear legs, thefront legs being longer than the rear legs, and said device beingadapted to be rigidly secured to a board or support in a downwardly andbackwardly inclinedposition with the rear edge thereof resting on saidboard or support, and the base plate or body portion being providedforwardly gf the rear edge thereof with a raised mem- 4.
